Hi! So I’m moving to Tokyo in a few months for university, and I’m getting worried abt my employment prospects while I’m there.. I definitely can’t afford to live there w/out working at all and there’s no way I can save absolutely everything I would need to before moving, even with what I Am saving and have already saved. I plan on applying for work-study jobs at my uni, but in the event I don’t get hired for Any of them, or if I want to find something to do on the weekends, does anyone have any suggestions? I know I will only be able to work part-time and I know there’s another visa to apply for in order to work as well when I’m there, so dw abt that. I just don’t know where or how to start with the job search, or even if I have a chance of finding jobs. I’ve been working student hourly jobs since 16(food service and retail), I just haven’t gotten any Big Kid experience yk? At this current point in time I can only speak enough Japanese to get around, not enough to effectively communicate like I would have to in a job. I’m going to keep learning, and my Major is Japanese Language but I won’t be able to learn as much as I need before I move. Is there any hope for me to get a job there?
(I’m so sorry this isn’t very well written, I just had a little anxiety attack at work(lol) and typed it out as quick as I could on my break)
